'Kingship' in the Bible

This is the interpretation of the message: ‘MENĒ’—God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.

‘PERĒS’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.
